Summary:	Last herald of French architecture, Jacques-François Blondel (1708/9-1774) trained in his private school and at the Royal Academy of Architecture in Paris several of the most renowned architects of the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the following century: Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, Étienne-Louis Boullée, Alexandre Brongniart or William Chambers? The revolutionary pedagogy that he developed in the teaching of architecture throughout his career has been widely disseminated in France, Europe and even across the Atlantic, as far as Quebec. If some architects applied it to the letter, others freed themselves from it beyond the lessons taught by the master. Fruit of the research of specialists of the Enlightenment - art historians, theorists of architecture and archivists curators of the heritage -, this work proposes to return to the ideas as well as the teaching methods dispensed by Jacques-François Blondel, and to reread, through a new prism, the fundamentals of his teaching
